Rare Begg F5000s to Goodwood

Two rare New Zealandbuilt Begg Formula 5000s will be among up to 30 cars taking part in high-speed demonstration sessions at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting (March 17/18).

Scott and Lindsay O’donnell will bring two of the seven Beggs built between 1968 and 1974 from Christchurch in New Zealand.

“For me it completes a mission of restoring and racing this car over the last 15 years to celebrate the ‘Kiwi ingenuity’ of characters like George Begg,” said Lindsay, who drives a 1972 FM4.

“Apart from celebrating the tiny Begg marque in the 50-year demonstration of F5000, it’s a great privilege to be invited to take part in a Goodwood event.”
